Customize the shop page

- [Instructor] We've set all the colors that we needfor our store, but there are a few functional thingsthat we likely want to change.There's a useful plugin called the WooCommerceProduct Archive Customiser which helps you do thingslike change the number of products on the shop pageand control how many columns there are.Let's go ahead and install this plugin.I'll go back to my Admin, Plugins, Add New,WooCommerce Product Archive Customiser,and notice the British spelling here,since it's built by a Brit.You'll want to install the one from jameskoster.

It's installed, let's go ahead and customize things.Appearance, Customize, and then Product Archives.Now, there's a whole lot of settings here.We can change the number of columns.Since we don't have many products,I'm going to use three.Products per page doesn't matter right now for our storebecause we only have a couple of products,but if we had more than that,we could change the number of products.10 is probably a good number, but if you do happento have something like 12 or 20 products,it's probably best just to put them all on one page.

There are a ton of options here,and most of these defaults are pretty smart.Displaying sales flashes is usually a good idea,as are add to cart buttons and the product image.One of the ones I do recommend turning onis displaying the New badge.This will display a little badge on your sitefor however many days you wantto show that little New badge right there.It can be very convenient,especially when you add new products,just so that those new products get noticed.And if you have products that go out of stock quickly,displaying the stock can be helpful.

Each product will have to be set to have WooCommercemanage their stock, otherwise you won't see anything here.For us, I'm pretty happy with this.Let's just go ahead and save and publish.
